At least you had some action. We were in Washougal GMU and socked in with blowing fog and temps under 50. Temps were fine, if we hadn't been expecting an actual August day (our fault), but the fog limited our visibility way too much to do anything.

Cool vid. I always like them. Where did you get your 2010 elk at? Looks familiar.

That is exactly why I use the yardage pro laser rangefinder scope with BDC turrets. Looking through my scope, hit the remote on the forarm of my rifle and walah....instant range to target, dial in the yardage, hold for wind and smack. I can say, I have never missed an animal with that scope.  I wouldnt trade that scope for any leupold on the market today. Maybe a Nightforce tho.....I would have to think long and careful about it tho.

no *censored*ry taken.  had i not seen the bear walk away and take every log apart to check for bugs and rodents, i would have went to check.  when i got the video back home, i could see where the bullet was hitting.    it was far, but doable had i known the range.

oh lord, here we go.  i was shooting 3006 with 180 remington psp.  zero at 200.  i thought it was about 350 so i aimed about a foot or so over.  did not take the steep downhill into account either.  i think it was more like 300.  the down hill was deceiving and across the drainage.

i know.......tell me about it.  thought he was going to keep feeding up, then he turned and started feeding away instead.
